"Ah man, I shot Marvin in the face" is one of my favorite lines in a movie ever. Gets me every time. The way he says it. So casual and matter of fact lol
"The truth is... you're the weak, and i'm the tyranny of evil men. But i'm trying, Ringo. I'm trying real hard to be the shepherd." - One of the greatest lines of the movie.
I've seen this movie about 30 times and I always manage to get something new out of it. I know it's typical to say it but: It's one of the best movies I've ever seen in my entire life. What about the beautiful contradiction between the accidental and absurd shooting of Marvin and the miracle of not being shot at all. "Whether or not what we experienced was a miracle is insignificant, but what is significant is that I felt the touch of god." This film is full of treasures and I don't need to know what was in the briefcase.
Tarantino came up with so many clever ways to foreshadow what would happen to certain characters, like every time Vincent went to the bathroom something bad happened when he came out. And when Jules was talking about being the shepherd as a protector, he wasn’t with Vincent when Butch catches him off guard
Jules wasn't with Vincent because he was off to wander the world. Marcellus had 2 coffees, for himself and Vincent because they were sitting on the apartment together.
12:49 That plot about the pilot TV show "Fox Force Five" later more or less became Quentin Tarantino's movie after Pulp Fiction, "Kill Bill 1 & 2" also starring Uma Thurman. Here Uma said her character's speciality is knife, in Kill Bill, her character's speciality is katana sword.
Most reactors don't know most of the references in Jack Rabbit Slim's....the Martin & Lewis shake or the Amos & Andy shake, who Buddy Holly even is, the Durwood Kirby burger 🍔, the Ed Sullivan impersonator who MCs the dance contest....I'm sure there's more, but....🤔
Because those guys are largely forgotten. Same with Airplane and Blazing Saddles jokes. A lot of people miss the don't get the "Fonz" reference, or the Kung-fu line Jackson uses.
Think about who lives and who dies. Jules and Butch live, but Vincent dies. Both Jules and Butch have a life changing experience that lead them to make better choices. Jules quit the hitman life to pursue God, and Butch came back to save Marcellus when he could have easily gotten away. Vincent, however, was unaffected by the same experience Jules had and felt no sense of gratitude for surviving. Vincent continued to walk the evil path, and eventually died.
Easy to read anything you like, except they were all scumbags, Butch the least. Vincent dies because he was a smackhead and zoned out half the time, like when he went into Mia's place. He was bound to die sooner rather than later. Butch tried to rip off a crime boss and probably knew there was a contract out on him which may well have continued when Marcellus disappeared. Seemed to me it was a combination of revenge on the guys and a gamble to clear his feud to Marcellus that made him go back down. (The gimp trying to call out but not being able to always cracked me up.) Jules was just smart - he had a close call, which was a very lucky escape but he chose to interpret it as an act of god. I'm sure he realised it could just as easily go the other way. The longer you work in a dangerous industry the greater your chance of dying at work. Jules and Vincent actually knew there were 5 guys in the apartment but didn't count, so they were sloppy. If Jules had read his bible he would know god if perfectly fine with murdering people and slavery. Jules went to "Walk the Earth", which is actually a line from the old TV series Kung Fu with David Carradine. Not sure how giving two robbers the diner patrons cash was a "better" choice. Marcellus will just continue to be a crime lord, killing people who get in his way.
Every 5 months for me mate. So much fun to watch with people who've never seen it. Everytime I meet a new friend who hasn't seen it I put it on. So much fun
I always say this movie had a perfect name, as "Pulp Fiction" is exactly what this was, is and will forever be, and if nothing else you're entertained from start to finish.
Quentin Tarantino is an absolute master when it comes to wordplay. The riveting dialogue and epic monologues are characteristic of all his films. He is also renowned for his ability to develop multiple seemingly unrelated plot lines simultaneously, which only interweave later in the movie. It is often not until the final scene that the audience can truly comprehend and appreciate the full meaning of all the previous scenes. That is one of the keys that make his masterpieces so enjoyable and unique! It is one of the marks of his genius that set his productions above and beyond all of the usual tripe, tired story lines, and hackneyed, worn-out tropes that Hollywood mindlessly spews out nowadays…
If you are so interested in Christopher Walken you should watch "True Romance" if never done - a movie where Tarantino wrote the script and which is also a weird combination of violence, humor and cool weird situations. Walken has only a few minutes screen time in one scene but he plays his role so damn good. And btw - Brad Pitt also has a small role in that movie - also very weird. Thanks for your reaction like always 🙂
What is very weird about 30 year old Brad Pitt playing a total stoner? 😎😎😎😎 He prolly just smoked a joint at home, got on set, acted as Floyd, got baked again from the honey bear bong, and went back home when done. Pretty normal day, according to him back then 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
"Somebody give her the shot!" Mia's overdose is so darkly comedic (because she survives 😅). Travolta dragging Thurman around, Stoltz having a meltdown, and Arquette adding to the chaos 🤣🤣🤣 I really enjoy the dark humor in Tarantino's movies.
@@alexbeardsley751 While not familiar with H, I would imagine it would be mostly out of his system after dinner, dancing, and the adrenaline rush of what was going on 🙃
@@LordVolkov you would think so but that stuff lasts a long time. It is evident Vincent has a tolerance in a sense since he can drive but I'd bet throughout the whole ordeal Vincent was still really on a good one. Driving back from Lances house would be one hell of a ride back. But I see your point and it makes sense but since this stuff was touted as a "madman" Im inclined to believe the later. Just my two cents from experience.
And with regards to what is in the "briefcase", no one knows. There are many theories. Tarantino himself, 30 years on, has not revealed what is in the case. He has said that whatever he says is in the case, is much less inventive then what fans have speculated on. And that's the point. It's up to you what you choose to believe is in the case 🙂
It's just a MacGuffin. He has said so, that is why he has not "revealed it". There is nothing interesting in the case, certainly not somebody's soul. All of the fan theories have been relatively retarded.
The leading theory is that the briefcase holds Marcellus' soul. Notice the band aid on the back of his upper neck during the "that's pride fuckin with you" speech in the bar.
@@philmakris8507 That theory is total BS and everyone knows it. It's just a dumb, early internet rumor from 1995. Ving Rhames had a serious skin lesion removed shortly before filming and the scar was quite ugly so he did not want to take the band aid off. The "theory" claimed that in "some religions" your soul is taken out of the back of your neck. Thus the band aid. Of course, nobody ever mentioned which religions those are....because they don't actually exist.
I know people love the Kill Bill movies but for me these first two Tarantino movies are the best. Such a great combination of violence, comedy,dialogue and story telling. I'm also a big fan of Once Upon A Time In Hollywood. I also whole heartedly agree with the suggestion for True Romance. Written by Quinten but directed by Tony Scott. It was a script he sold because he wanted to make Reservoir Dogs. The scene in that movie with Christopher Walken and Dennis Hopper is referred to as "The Scene". It's great. In the dance scene when John does the two fingers thing, it was an homage to the original Batman series where it's the Batusi A GoGo. Look it up to check it out. It's so campy yet awesome. You're also the first person I've seen not mention the fact that they had the dance trophy, and no one ever catches that it's said that they stole it. Id' say that the ride home is an uncomfortable silence! Lastly, a funny movie with Cristopher Walken which also stars Matthew Broderick is "Biloxi Blues.
I’ve watched dozens of Pulp Fiction reactions….your reaction to Marvin getting shot in the face was 🤌🏽 *Chefs kiss* 🤣😂 RIP Marvin….if only he had an opinion.
My favorite fact about this movie is Julia Sweeney who's the women at the junk yard at the end wrote the movie "it's pat" at the same time they helped each other out, together they made the best and worst movie of the year (their words) Also zed (peter green) is my cousin so I saw this way to young and was obsessed with it
@@0okamino that's where I learned about ween so it'll always have a special place in my heart, but just the thought of Tarantino working on that script is hilarious to me
The best movie injoke in history is John Travolta , as Edna in HAIRSPRAY saying "You wanna try something? Try getting blood out of car upholstery...thats a talent you can take to the bank!" Now thats a genius line!
"You happened to pull this shit when I'm in a transitional period." There's so many quotable lines in this movie. It's crazy how much humor Quintin was able to inject into this film.
I'm sorry, did I break your concentration? I had a t-shirt with that line on it because there was this loser at work who said that a few times when asked, "why did you do that?" (You broke my concentration.)
I always liked how this movie took a cast of characters from the underbelly of society and explored how even in those circles, different codes of ethics, morals, and expectations on behavior have a major impact on how events play out.
Fun fact: You mentioned him being in Jim Carrey's Mask but there was another "The Mask" Story of Rocky Dennis with Cher. The drug dealer who had the shot for Mia, played Rocky Dennis in the other Mask. Eric Stoltz I believe it's spelled.
Evie, you're lovely as usual. 💖 I really liked your reaction. You didn't spend a lot of time trying to fill up empty spaces with words. As you said, you wanted to catch all the dialogue. Alot of reactors say, "why are they talking about this?" or, "I love all this dialogue", but you were just soaking it up. 😀👍🏻
"You're the weak, and I am the tyranny of evil men." That line delivery gives me chills every time I see it and is for me one of theb.ost powerful moments of the movie. You're righr...it's a lot at first. Definitely a movie you need to watch 2 or 3 times to pick up on what you missed the first time.
The pilot Uma Thurman's character plays in, Fox Force Five is a nod to the assassin group in Kill Bill, she's specialises with knives like Black Mamba does in KB 👍
Mia snorted the heroin thinking it was cocaine, that´s why she had that overdose (heroin can be snorted as well, but the most common and "safety" way it´s like Vincent did, using a needle). And also Vincent goes a lot to the bath, due to he´s an heroin addict, and that provokes you, sometimes, a kind of incontinence.
Well worth watching the rest of Tarantino's films! This one is widely considered his most iconic, but I have a very difficult time picking my favorite of his; all of his films are top-tier.
Fun fact: this movie had already made a profit before they ever shot a frame, pretty much all thanks to Bruce Willis. Willis saw Reservoir Dogs, called up his agent and said "Whatever this guy's next film is, I want to be involved." He even agreed to work for scale. And because Bruce Willis was involved, it made it very easy to pre-sell the movie overseas. They pre-sold it for somewhere between $10-18 million, then gave Tarantino $6 million to make the movie.
@25:09 Jules had already talked to Marcellus about quitting the life in order to “walk the Earth” at this point. Vincent wasn’t alone- he and Marcellus were staking out Butch’s apartment together bc of Jules’ absence. Marcellus went out for donuts 🍩 and coffee ☕️ nearby which is how Butch happened to cross paths with him. It wasn’t just a random coincidence. Also they both probably didn’t really expect Butch to return to the apartment bc of the danger, which is why Marcellus went for a walk and which is prob why Vincent was so cavalier about leaving his machine gun on the countertop while Marcellus had gone and didn’t react to hearing the door open- he prob thought Marcellus was returning.
Really good catch about the "mundaneness" of the dialogue. Tarantino is great at this, and Pulp Fiction is a shining example of how these characters come alive through the interactions they have with each other beyond just the story-driving elements of the movie. All of his movies are worth a watch for a variety of reasons, IMO you should consider Inglourious Basterds next. As far as I'm concerned those are his two best films, and in different ways they both really captures what makes Tarantino a world-class filmmaker.
Lot's of 70's cultural references in this. A couple most never get is at the beginning Jules calls someone "A Flock of Seagulls", which is the name of a band who had a big hit with "I Ran", I guess referring to the guys looks. At the diner "the Fonz" was an icon from Happy Days and Jules decides to "Walk the Earth", which was a line from a TV series called Kung Fu, with David Carradine who appears in Kill Bill. The retro diner where Vincent and Mia go has a lot of 50's icons, Marilyn Monroe, Buddy Holly and Ed Sullivan, (which is the point of such a diner). And the meals were named after 50's acts or stars.
@@MajaZaguangood point, probably has something to do with that. Tv shows used to be 4:4 ratio while movies were shot on wide screen. Perhaps its tv shows are generic while movies are more of an art?
Perfect reaction! You are as observant as one should be and caught all important references while it was still very clear you never have seen this before. Exactly what everyone wants, watching a great reaction. ♥
This is the only movie I went back to the cinema to see a second time. When you watch it again pay attention to the guy you can hear on the radio as Butch is walking past the apartment block on the way to his own apartment, it's a really cool detail that took me ages to pick up on. Great reaction as always.
You know the weird detail that tends to go unnoticed? The songs switch during the opening credits because that's what Samuel L. Jackson has on his car radio. You can hear Kool and the Gang in the background when they're driving.
Quentin Tarantino's style? From what little I've seen: violent, bloody, slick dialogue, excellent music, non-chronological storytelling, and a personal cameo.
15:10 I noticed the audio from Grease (1978). If you haven't seen Saturday Night Fever (1977) and Staying Alive (1983) and want more of Travolta dancing, those are a must. That role made him a star.
If you have watched Pulp Fiction and John Wick 1, you might notice some possible connections between those two movies. Both movies deals with the world of hitman, both have character name Winston who is connected to dead-bodies-clean-up business. Winston Wolfe the problem solver in Pulp Fiction is a partner of Monster Joe Truck Recycler and Winston the owner of Continental Hotel in John Wick is a partner of Charlie the Waste Disposal Company. Both Winstons are headquartered in somekind of hotel or bar. Winston in John Wick has office in the basement bar in Continental Hotel, drinking cocktail and Winston Wolfe was seen in a bedroom during somekind of cocktail party at 8.20 a.m with guests walking around passing his room's door, when he received the call from Marcellus Wallace about the Bonnie Situation.
Accidentally shooting Marvin in the face was actually a rewrite. The intended scene was for him to be accidentally shot in the neck and be slowly bleeding out, forcing Vince to shoot him in the head to put him out of his misery while Jules honked the horn. Upon meeting Phil LaMarr, the actor who plays Marvin, John Travolta told director Quentin Tarantino, "I can't do that to this guy, the audience will hate me, he's so nice." So they changed it to him just hitting him in the head first time.
A friend I worked with back in the day made me come to his house to watch this when it came out on video. Through the course of the movie I laughed, I cried and was totally blown away. It was my first Tarantino flick. My gateway drug. It grabbed me at "And I'll execute every motherf@%king last one of you!!!" I had seen Amanda Plummer in a few other things as well as interviews, etc. Sweet little lady. Awesome actor. That line was intense.
*Now, whenever you watch a Quentin Tarantino movie, watch for the fictional products. Especially "Red Apple Cigarettes"🍎🚬and "Big Kahuna Burger" 🏄🍔. There's also "G.O. Juice", and "Teriyaki Donuts"* 🗾🍩 *And listen for "Hand cannon" and "I seriously doubt that."*
The guy that comes out of the bathroom blasting was actor Robert Arquette a sibling of Patricia, David and Rosanna (She plays Lance's wife Jody). Robert later changed his name to Alexis after becoming Transgender, you may recognize Alexis from the movie "The Wedding Singer" she was the Boy George look a like. She died in 2016 from AIDS related issues.
There are a few movies that have a supreme script which makes it sacrilegious to censor said script. Evie, you left A LOT of the awesome script in the reaction and it’s truly appreciated. Thank you
@12:30 If you think that sounds pretty good, I definitely recommend checking out Kill Bill! Starring the same actor Uma Therman, and Written and Directed by Tarantino, it's like an evolved Fox Force V!
When this was in cinemas in 1994, I went back and saw Pulp Fiction again just for the Marvin moment. It was so shocking and I wanted to see the audience reaction.
Quinton Tarantino is a visionary director. His style is a conglomerate of several different world class directors. I love his seemingly disjointed story telling style as well. It keeps you on your toes because you never know when it's going to wind back upon itself or how. The fact that there was no central plot for every seemingly unrelated story. Although they all interconnect in a way that complets each of them. Is a truly genius stroke. This movie is definitely Quinton Tarantino's masterpiece so far. And I've watched it an uncountable number of times and still get caught up in it every single time.
didn't care for a full 100% of the edit. BUT this was the best reaction to Pulp Fiction that I've seen out of like 20... because of your smart comments, theories, and great analysis'
The film isn't trying to say anything, there is no message. They're just interweaving pulp stories brought to visceral life with a cool soundtrack. This was SLJ's breakout role but also it re-ignited John Travolta's career - and the latter was only paid $100,000 for this movie, just over $200,000 now.
Crazy movie. Evie "Poor Marvin" Evie the shock on your face was priceless. This came out the year I graduated high school. Ok feeling old now 😅 I wish Jack Rabbit Slims was a real restaurant. Looks like fun. Too much to talk about in this movie. So here's a question instead. Anyone else think the taxi driver character Esmarelda Villalobos became a serial killer. 🤔 She was definitely far too excited/curious about what it's like to kill a man.
Check out True Romance, written by Tarantino (plot and dialogue) and directed by Tony Scott. Came out in 1993. You will enjoy it. Great review of Pulp Fiction. You have an *excellent* sense of humor.
The only reactor to catch ,that you don’t “ sniff” that , great observation, glad I subbed , and now I’m enjoying your channel .. great reaction as usual …
I always loved the Wolfe's line to Raquel just before they drove off: 'Because you are a character, doesn't mean that you have character' But yeah, this movie has a lot of great dialoge just like most of Quentin's movies.
I like how she looks in to the camera and smiles in the beginning of the bonnie situation after hearing Macelllus Wallace dont like to be efff by anyone ]
I have one of those BMF wallets. Yeah, I like this film that much. Your reaction was awesome. Something to think about, at least to me is that the actual timeline of the film begins when Butch gets his father's watch and end when Butch and his girlfriend ride off on the chopper. Just sayin. As we say in Texas; y'all be safe. Everybody!
Many, many wonderful details. Both Jules and Vince spend $1,500. Butch stands in front of a Tennessee license plate in the pawn shop as he's on his way to that state. He is involved in a fight between 2 guys with the last names of 2 U.S. presidents. He deals consecutively with 2 women who are brunette, barefoot and have foreign accents. Jody smiles in anticipation of the injection because she is established as being into piercing with needles. And on and on.
The sword in the shop is most likely a Hitori Hanzo sword. The "Bad Motherfucker" wallet actually belonged to Tarantino in real life. The Royale with cheese and Metric system convo was from a real convo QT had with friend/producer Roger Avery. So many kool details.
Jules shot Marvin on purpose. "Do you think God came down from heaven and"....stopped me from shooting you in the face....., then delivers the next line like aw man I just spilled my coffee. His finger was on the trigger the whole time.
It's a soul. In the case. Explains why the white boy Christians that had it were so non violent types. Marcellus was having his soul washed, which explains the band aid on the back of his neck.(Certain dogma suggests that the soul leaves the body behind the cerebral cortex)
Hi Evie!😊 People either love or hate this film. There seems to be very little in between. But, the majority are definitely fans. Yeah, we are definitely heading for an all digital money society. This was part of Travolta's comeback. He had some lean years after films like "Saturday Night Fever" and "Grease". You can snort heroin, but it can be extremely dangerous as we see here. The bible quote Jules uses is an altered version. Great reactions to this very well made film which still holds up after 30 years, Evie!!!!🎬👏👏👏👏 You might want to try a more recent Tarantino film for a change of pace next. I recommend "Inglorious Basterds" (2009).🏆 This film launched the international career of actor Christoph Waltz.
I love this movie. The only scene that’s difficult for me to see is Butch screaming at his waif of a girlfriend-I find that harder to watch than the shootings. I always love reactors watching Captain Koons explaining to young Butch how the watch was hidden from their captors; you didn’t disappoint.😁
The diner scene is like the diner scene in Supernatural's season 7 episode 6, Slash Fiction. What is in the case? Some say it is Marcellus Wallace's soul. Great reaction!
In a movie stuffed with great scenes, the Christopher Walken scene is my favorite. "He'd be damned if any slopes gonna put their greasy yellow hands on his boy's birthright."
Must subscribe to your channel! You completely got this movie, your review at the end, I must say is possibly one of these best reaction channel reviews I've come across. I also must say that I love how you articulated your thoughts on this movie. I actually watched all 44.48 minutes of your reaction because of that. Which is rare for me, I generally find myself turning off, once the reactor is giving their final thoughts.
30:41 - big continuity error as the bullet holes are already behind them on the wall - before the guy comes out of the bathroom and shoots at them. Not the first take!
"Ah man, I shot Marvin in the face" is one of my favorite lines in a movie ever. Gets me every time. The way he says it. So casual and matter of fact lol
That whole car dialogue is great "Well believe it now mutha fucker, you know cops tend to notice shit like cars drenched in fucking blood".
It wasn't in the script, Travolta suggested it, and they went with it.

Yes I’m excited to watch it again!
@Jerry because he said he'd want to be there when the kill Butch (in the rice thingy).
Vincent's car was scratched by Bruce Willis ' character for calling him "Palooka" and "punchy"
12:49 That plot about the pilot TV show "Fox Force Five" later more or less became Quentin Tarantino's movie after Pulp Fiction, "Kill Bill 1 & 2" also starring Uma Thurman. Here Uma said her character's speciality is knife, in Kill Bill, her character's speciality is katana sword.
"aww man, I shot Marvin in the face"😂😂😂😂😂😂
That might be the single best line delivery of Travolta's career 😂

The delivery is legendary

So why didn't marcellus die ? He continued down the path of evil even after being shown mercy by butch who could have left him
@@jonhenry8268He did forego revenge on Butch, allowing him to leave L.A. with all of the money he made on his bets.
@vedlashouseofoldtvcommerci2340 one could argue he bought Butch's silence. He also was busy taking revenge on those who rape him.
You’re a dunce.. stop watching videos about movies and experience it for yourself.
Easy to read anything you like, except they were all scumbags, Butch the least.
Vincent dies because he was a smackhead and zoned out half the time, like when he went into Mia's place. He was bound to die sooner rather than later.
Butch tried to rip off a crime boss and probably knew there was a contract out on him which may well have continued when Marcellus disappeared. Seemed to me it was a combination of revenge on the guys and a gamble to clear his feud to Marcellus that made him go back down. (The gimp trying to call out but not being able to always cracked me up.)
Jules was just smart - he had a close call, which was a very lucky escape but he chose to interpret it as an act of god. I'm sure he realised it could just as easily go the other way. The longer you work in a dangerous industry the greater your chance of dying at work.
Jules and Vincent actually knew there were 5 guys in the apartment but didn't count, so they were sloppy.
If Jules had read his bible he would know god if perfectly fine with murdering people and slavery.
Jules went to "Walk the Earth", which is actually a line from the old TV series Kung Fu with David Carradine.
Not sure how giving two robbers the diner patrons cash was a "better" choice.
Marcellus will just continue to be a crime lord, killing people who get in his way.
"I feel like it's time sensitive." Has got to be one of the funniest things you've ever said.
This is one of those movies that I'll watch every half decade or so probably for the rest of my life. It's perfection!

Driving back from Lances house would be one hell of a ride back. But I see your point and it makes sense but since this stuff was touted as a "madman" Im inclined to believe the later. Just my two cents from experience.
@@alexbeardsley751 👍 It does make it funnier, especially with Trudy in the back ripping the bong 🤣🤣🤣
And with regards to what is in the "briefcase", no one knows. There are many theories. Tarantino himself, 30 years on, has not revealed what is in the case. He has said that whatever he says is in the case, is much less inventive then what fans have speculated on. And that's the point. It's up to you what you choose to believe is in the case 🙂
It's just a MacGuffin. He has said so, that is why he has not "revealed it".
There is nothing interesting in the case, certainly not somebody's soul. All of the fan theories have been relatively retarded.
I always thought the idea it was
Marsellus Wallace
's soul in the case was the best one
If nothing else, it recalls KISS ME DEADLY.
The leading theory is that the briefcase holds Marcellus' soul.
Notice the band aid on the back of his upper neck during the "that's pride fuckin with you" speech in the bar.
@@philmakris8507
That theory is total BS and everyone knows it. It's just a dumb, early internet rumor from 1995.
Ving Rhames had a serious skin lesion removed shortly before filming and the scar was quite ugly so he did not want to take the band aid off.
The "theory" claimed that in "some religions" your soul is taken out of the back of your neck. Thus the band aid.
Of course, nobody ever mentioned which religions those are....because they don't actually exist.
I know people love the Kill Bill movies but for me these first two Tarantino movies are the best. Such a great combination of violence, comedy,dialogue and story telling. I'm also a big fan of Once Upon A Time In Hollywood. I also whole heartedly agree with the suggestion for True Romance. Written by Quinten but directed by Tony Scott. It was a script he sold because he wanted to make Reservoir Dogs. The scene in that movie with Christopher Walken and Dennis Hopper is referred to as "The Scene". It's great. In the dance scene when John does the two fingers thing, it was an homage to the original Batman series where it's the Batusi A GoGo. Look it up to check it out. It's so campy yet awesome. You're also the first person I've seen not mention the fact that they had the dance trophy, and no one ever catches that it's said that they stole it. Id' say that the ride home is an uncomfortable silence! Lastly, a funny movie with Cristopher Walken which also stars Matthew Broderick is "Biloxi Blues.
I’ve watched dozens of Pulp Fiction reactions….your reaction to Marvin getting shot in the face was 🤌🏽 *Chefs kiss* 🤣😂 RIP Marvin….if only he had an opinion.
My favorite fact about this movie is Julia Sweeney who's the women at the junk yard at the end wrote the movie "it's pat" at the same time they helped each other out, together they made the best and worst movie of the year (their words)
Also zed (peter green) is my cousin so I saw this way to young and was obsessed with it
Your cousin eh? Although his name is spelt Peter GREENE. You fraud
Just on the sheer merit that Ween appears in it, I think _It’s Pat_ is exempt from being the worst.
@@0okamino that's where I learned about ween so it'll always have a special place in my heart, but just the thought of Tarantino working on that script is hilarious to me
@@josephamesdacey6442Just imagine if they got mixed up in their writing. "So, this is where Pat shoots Marvin in the face, right?" "Um... what?" 😄
@@0okamino hahahaha pat on the bike at the end "mehhhhhhhh it's not a motorcycle baby it's a chopper ehhehhehhhhhh"
Yup, there is a band called Zed's Dead
The best movie injoke in history is John Travolta , as Edna in HAIRSPRAY saying "You wanna try something? Try getting blood out of car upholstery...thats a talent you can take to the bank!" Now thats a genius line!
"You happened to pull this shit when I'm in a transitional period."
There's so many quotable lines in this movie.
It's crazy how much humor Quintin was able to inject into this film.
I'm sorry, did I break your concentration? I had a t-shirt with that line on it because there was this loser at work who said that a few times when asked, "why did you do that?" (You broke my concentration.)
I always liked how this movie took a cast of characters from the underbelly of society and explored how even in those circles, different codes of ethics, morals, and expectations on behavior have a major impact on how events play out.
Fun fact: You mentioned him being in Jim Carrey's Mask but there was another "The Mask" Story of Rocky Dennis with Cher. The drug dealer who had the shot for Mia, played Rocky Dennis in the other Mask. Eric Stoltz I believe it's spelled.
Evie, you're lovely as usual. 💖 I really liked your reaction. You didn't spend a lot of time trying to fill up empty spaces with words. As you said, you wanted to catch all the dialogue. Alot of reactors say, "why are they talking about this?" or, "I love all this dialogue", but you were just soaking it up. 😀👍🏻
"You're the weak, and I am the tyranny of evil men." That line delivery gives me chills every time I see it and is for me one of theb.ost powerful moments of the movie.
You're righr...it's a lot at first. Definitely a movie you need to watch 2 or 3 times to pick up on what you missed the first time.
Love that line!
I liked the little touch of John Travolta buttering between every pancake. 🥞
The pilot Uma Thurman's character plays in, Fox Force Five is a nod to the assassin group in Kill Bill, she's specialises with knives like Black Mamba does in KB 👍
Mia snorted the heroin thinking it was cocaine, that´s why she had that overdose (heroin can be snorted as well, but the most common and "safety" way it´s like Vincent did, using a needle). And also Vincent goes a lot to the bath, due to he´s an heroin addict, and that provokes you, sometimes, a kind of incontinence.
Actually causes constipation, hence why he's reading in there. But I'm quibbling.
I regularly say 'Don't be a rectangle' and people always look at me like i'm a loony.
Cause the old slang is “don’t be a square” from the time era as the restaurant
Well worth watching the rest of Tarantino's films! This one is widely considered his most iconic, but I have a very difficult time picking my favorite of his; all of his films are top-tier.
Fun fact: this movie had already made a profit before they ever shot a frame, pretty much all thanks to Bruce Willis. Willis saw Reservoir Dogs, called up his agent and said "Whatever this guy's next film is, I want to be involved." He even agreed to work for scale. And because Bruce Willis was involved, it made it very easy to pre-sell the movie overseas. They pre-sold it for somewhere between $10-18 million, then gave Tarantino $6 million to make the movie.
@25:09
Jules had already talked to Marcellus about quitting the life in order to “walk the Earth” at this point. Vincent wasn’t alone- he and Marcellus were staking out Butch’s apartment together bc of Jules’ absence. Marcellus went out for donuts 🍩 and coffee ☕️ nearby which is how Butch happened to cross paths with him. It wasn’t just a random coincidence. Also they both probably didn’t really expect Butch to return to the apartment bc of the danger, which is why Marcellus went for a walk and which is prob why Vincent was so cavalier about leaving his machine gun on the countertop while Marcellus had gone and didn’t react to hearing the door open- he prob thought Marcellus was returning.
Great line, when he said garcon and the girl said garcon mean boy!!! LOL
"Oh, you were finished! Well, allow me to retort."
"I think you should hurry.....They're killing him over there" 💀💀 idk why that had me dead
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Really good catch about the "mundaneness" of the dialogue. Tarantino is great at this, and Pulp Fiction is a shining example of how these characters come alive through the interactions they have with each other beyond just the story-driving elements of the movie.
All of his movies are worth a watch for a variety of reasons, IMO you should consider Inglourious Basterds next. As far as I'm concerned those are his two best films, and in different ways they both really captures what makes Tarantino a world-class filmmaker.
IDK why but my favorite part of the whole movie is still the "pretty please with sugar on top go clean the fuckin car." Gets me every time XD
Lot's of 70's cultural references in this.
A couple most never get is at the beginning Jules calls someone "A Flock of Seagulls", which is the name of a band who had a big hit with "I Ran", I guess referring to the guys looks.
At the diner "the Fonz" was an icon from Happy Days and Jules decides to "Walk the Earth", which was a line from a TV series called Kung Fu, with David Carradine who appears in Kill Bill.
The retro diner where Vincent and Mia go has a lot of 50's icons, Marilyn Monroe, Buddy Holly and Ed Sullivan, (which is the point of such a diner). And the meals were named after 50's acts or stars.
“Don’t be a rectangle” thank God that someone said it at long last 😂❤
Rectangles are still cool, but are pretty close to being a square.
@@0okaminoCould it be that it was a square for the big screen, but the ratio for TVs changed it to a rectangle 🤔
Ive seen so many reacters say that 😂😂 everyone thinks that. The question is... was it purposeful?
@@MajaZaguangood point, probably has something to do with that. Tv shows used to be 4:4 ratio while movies were shot on wide screen. Perhaps its tv shows are generic while movies are more of an art?
@MajaZaguan No. If the aspect would have affected the shape, it would've affected everything else on the screen, and it didn't.
Perfect reaction! You are as observant as one should be and caught all important references while it was still very clear you never have seen this before. Exactly what everyone wants, watching a great reaction. ♥
This is the only movie I went back to the cinema to see a second time.
When you watch it again pay attention to the guy you can hear on the radio as Butch is walking past the apartment block on the way to his own apartment, it's a really cool detail that took me ages to pick up on.
Great reaction as always.
"Who's chopper is this? It's Zed's sugarpop. Who's Zed? Zed's dead baby."😁
You know the weird detail that tends to go unnoticed? The songs switch during the opening credits because that's what Samuel L. Jackson has on his car radio. You can hear Kool and the Gang in the background when they're driving.
25:22 Evie was right to expect "something", but surely not quite what Quentin came up with
Quentin Tarantino's style? From what little I've seen: violent, bloody, slick dialogue, excellent music, non-chronological storytelling, and a personal cameo.
15:10
I noticed the audio from Grease (1978). If you haven't seen Saturday Night Fever (1977) and Staying Alive (1983) and want more of Travolta dancing, those are a must. That role made him a star.
If you have watched Pulp Fiction and John Wick 1, you might notice some possible connections between those two movies. Both movies deals with the world of hitman, both have character name Winston who is connected to dead-bodies-clean-up business. Winston Wolfe the problem solver in Pulp Fiction is a partner of Monster Joe Truck Recycler and Winston the owner of Continental Hotel in John Wick is a partner of Charlie the Waste Disposal Company. Both Winstons are headquartered in somekind of hotel or bar. Winston in John Wick has office in the basement bar in Continental Hotel, drinking cocktail and Winston Wolfe was seen in a bedroom during somekind of cocktail party at 8.20 a.m with guests walking around passing his room's door, when he received the call from Marcellus Wallace about the Bonnie Situation.
When you re-watch, keep an eye out for Vincent walking towards the bathroom before the robbery begins.
Accidentally shooting Marvin in the face was actually a rewrite. The intended scene was for him to be accidentally shot in the neck and be slowly bleeding out, forcing Vince to shoot him in the head to put him out of his misery while Jules honked the horn. Upon meeting Phil LaMarr, the actor who plays Marvin, John Travolta told director Quentin Tarantino, "I can't do that to this guy, the audience will hate me, he's so nice." So they changed it to him just hitting him in the head first time.
A friend I worked with back in the day made me come to his house to watch this when it came out on video. Through the course of the movie I laughed, I cried and was totally blown away. It was my first Tarantino flick. My gateway drug. It grabbed me at "And I'll execute every motherf@%king last one of you!!!" I had seen Amanda Plummer in a few other things as well as interviews, etc. Sweet little lady. Awesome actor. That line was intense.
*Now, whenever you watch a Quentin Tarantino movie, watch for the fictional products. Especially "Red Apple Cigarettes"🍎🚬and "Big Kahuna Burger" 🏄🍔. There's also "G.O. Juice", and "Teriyaki Donuts"* 🗾🍩
*And listen for "Hand cannon" and "I seriously doubt that."*
The guy that comes out of the bathroom blasting was actor Robert Arquette a sibling of Patricia, David and Rosanna (She plays Lance's wife Jody). Robert later changed his name to Alexis after becoming Transgender, you may recognize Alexis from the movie "The Wedding Singer" she was the Boy George look a like. She died in 2016 from AIDS related issues.
“Four Rooms”. Tim Roth, Quentin, Bruce, Antonio Banderas.
Quentin wrote on of the room’s stories. Tim Roth’s performance is hilarious.
Yes! Loony film, but good.
There are a few movies that have a supreme script which makes it sacrilegious to censor said script. Evie, you left A LOT of the awesome script in the reaction and it’s truly appreciated. Thank you
@12:30 If you think that sounds pretty good, I definitely recommend checking out Kill Bill! Starring the same actor Uma Therman, and Written and Directed by Tarantino, it's like an evolved Fox Force V!
When this was in cinemas in 1994, I went back and saw Pulp Fiction again just for the Marvin moment. It was so shocking and I wanted to see the audience reaction.
Great reaction Evie ... and good to see that you got the humour juxtaposed against the extreme violence, thrilling scenes, and engaging dialogue.
Quinton Tarantino is a visionary director. His style is a conglomerate of several different world class directors.
I love his seemingly disjointed story telling style as well. It keeps you on your toes because you never know when it's going to wind back upon itself or how.
The fact that there was no central plot for every seemingly unrelated story. Although they all interconnect in a way that complets each of them. Is a truly genius stroke.
This movie is definitely Quinton Tarantino's masterpiece so far. And I've watched it an uncountable number of times and still get caught up in it every single time.
didn't care for a full 100% of the edit. BUT this was the best reaction to Pulp Fiction that I've seen out of like 20... because of your smart comments, theories, and great analysis'
The film isn't trying to say anything, there is no message. They're just interweaving pulp stories brought to visceral life with a cool soundtrack.
This was SLJ's breakout role but also it re-ignited John Travolta's career - and the latter was only paid $100,000 for this movie, just over $200,000 now.
Tarantino films are all about the mix of INCREDIBLY well-written dialogue and EXTREMELY talented performers bringing those words to life.
Crazy movie. Evie "Poor Marvin" Evie the shock on your face was priceless. This came out the year I graduated high school. Ok feeling old now 😅 I wish Jack Rabbit Slims was a real restaurant. Looks like fun. Too much to talk about in this movie. So here's a question instead. Anyone else think the taxi driver character Esmarelda Villalobos became a serial killer. 🤔 She was definitely far too excited/curious about what it's like to kill a man.
Wish to see the movie about her.
Check out True Romance, written by Tarantino (plot and dialogue) and directed by Tony Scott. Came out in 1993. You will enjoy it. Great review of Pulp Fiction. You have an *excellent* sense of humor.
3:12 good luck robbing me, I only got ethereum on my nokia 😂
28:24 "They're killing him over there."
Wrong verb.
You're so bloody annoying. What a pedantic nuisance.
The only reactor to catch ,that you don’t “ sniff” that , great observation, glad I subbed , and now I’m enjoying your channel .. great reaction as usual …
The BMF wallet belonged to Tarantino.
"which one is yours?"
"it's the one that says bad mother fucker on it!"
I always loved the Wolfe's line to Raquel just before they drove off:
'Because you are a character, doesn't mean that you have character'
But yeah, this movie has a lot of great dialoge just like most of Quentin's movies.
i always check rice before i eat it
I like how she looks in to the camera and smiles in the beginning of the bonnie situation after hearing Macelllus Wallace dont like to be efff by anyone ]
One of my favourites. Watched it 1.2 million times
Vincent's car was scratched by Bruce Willis ' character for calling him "Palooka" and "punchy"
Zeds Dead is a DJ duo, took the name after this movie most likely. There's also another DJ by the name of Zedd
I have one of those BMF wallets. Yeah, I like this film that much.
Your reaction was awesome. Something to think about, at least to me is that the actual timeline of the film begins when Butch gets his father's watch and end when Butch and his girlfriend ride off on the chopper. Just sayin.
As we say in Texas; y'all be safe. Everybody!
_"Don't be a rectangle."_
Finally, after watching numerous reactions to this movie someone mentioned that, lol.
That was a fun reaction. I enjoyed it so much that I subscribed. You were on the ball with your observations and attention to details.
The best reaction (and editing) I've seen to this movie on YT. Thanks!
'Yolanda Be Cool' is a band 😅
*named after that scene
True. No one has cash! Not even a register. Not even a dispensary!
Many, many wonderful details. Both Jules and Vince spend $1,500. Butch stands in front of a Tennessee license plate in the pawn shop as he's on his way to that state. He is involved in a fight between 2 guys with the last names of 2 U.S. presidents. He deals consecutively with 2 women who are brunette, barefoot and have foreign accents. Jody smiles in anticipation of the injection because she is established as being into piercing with needles. And on and on.
The sword in the shop is most likely a Hitori Hanzo sword. The "Bad Motherfucker" wallet actually belonged to Tarantino in real life. The Royale with cheese and Metric system convo was from a real convo QT had with friend/producer Roger Avery. So many kool details.
Oh yes. Tarantino is a grandmaster of dialogs in his movies.
Jules shot Marvin on purpose. "Do you think God came down from heaven and"....stopped me from shooting you in the face....., then delivers the next line like aw man I just spilled my coffee. His finger was on the trigger the whole time.
It's a soul. In the case. Explains why the white boy Christians that had it were so non violent types. Marcellus was having his soul washed, which explains the band aid on the back of his neck.(Certain dogma suggests that the soul leaves the body behind the cerebral cortex)
Absolute nonsense.
Hi Evie!😊 People either love or hate this film. There seems to be very little in between. But, the majority are definitely fans. Yeah, we are definitely heading for an all digital money society. This was part of Travolta's comeback. He had some lean years after films like "Saturday Night Fever" and "Grease". You can snort heroin, but it can be extremely dangerous as we see here. The bible quote Jules uses is an altered version. Great reactions to this very well made film which still holds up after 30 years, Evie!!!!🎬👏👏👏👏 You might want to try a more recent Tarantino film for a change of pace next. I recommend "Inglorious Basterds" (2009).🏆 This film launched the international career of actor Christoph Waltz.
I enjoyed Evie's confusion at the beginning of the movie a great deal, hahaha. Pulp Ficition has a very unusual structure, and it's amazing.
I love this movie. The only scene that’s difficult for me to see is Butch screaming at his waif of a girlfriend-I find that harder to watch than the shootings. I always love reactors watching Captain Koons explaining to young Butch how the watch was hidden from their captors; you didn’t disappoint.😁
your reaction to the watch story was PERFECT!!! ...uncomfortable giggling 🤭 is the only way to take that story 😉 GREAT REACTION! 👍😁
The diner scene is like the diner scene in Supernatural's season 7 episode 6, Slash Fiction. What is in the case? Some say it is Marcellus Wallace's soul. Great reaction!
In a movie stuffed with great scenes, the Christopher Walken scene is my favorite. "He'd be damned if any slopes gonna put their greasy yellow hands on his boy's birthright."
Zeds dead is actually a band, nice one
I very much enjoy your reactions. And considering that this is my second favorite movie, I enjoyed watching it with you.
Must subscribe to your channel! You completely got this movie, your review at the end, I must say is possibly one of these best reaction channel reviews I've come across. I also must say that I love how you articulated your thoughts on this movie. I actually watched all 44.48 minutes of your reaction because of that. Which is rare for me, I generally find myself turning off, once the reactor is giving their final thoughts.
Thank you so much I appreciate it!!🥹
This movie is about: "A bunch of gangsters doing a bunch of gangster shit."
09:01. you found another interesting universe inside Tarantino's movies. Good job.
30:41 - big continuity error as the bullet holes are already behind them on the wall - before the guy comes out of the bathroom and shoots at them. Not the first take!
Don't worry. Someone who HAS seen it couldn't tell you what Pulp Fiction is about either.
😂🤣
the story line of this film is complete chaos because there are multiple story lines
I really like your camera setup! Great job! Your reaction too!
